The Hockey Player

Directed by Jacqueline Doorey

Follows Luke Prokop, a Canadian-born defenseman, as he decides to become the first and only professional athlete playing for an NHL team to come out as gay.
The Hockey Player is a restrained sports drama about masculinity, identity and the pressure to conform inside a traditionally macho environment. Jacqueline Doorey keeps the tone grounded, allowing the character’s private conflict to emerge through the discipline and physicality of the sport.
